Contributing Factors in Rotator Cuff Injuries<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rotator cuff injuries (RTC) are common among athletes, particularly athletes that are involved in sports that require overhead exercises. The purpose of this review was to look at different factors and see how they influence one\u2019s risk for an RTC injury. The review includes materials gathered from six different studies and discusses the influence of muscle flexibility, fatigue, range of motion, and overuse on rotator cuff injuries. It was concluded that there are a multitude of factors that influence the risk for injury; this results in an imbalance in the strength of the RTC muscles, increasing one\u2019s risk for injury and re-injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
